Armed with an assault rifle and handgun, they stole the victim's cellular phone, watch and his cash. The gunmen ran off just as a BSO patrol car was driving down the street, investigators said.

The victim flagged down the cruiser and the manhunt began with Fort Lauderdale police joining deputies to search the area with police dogs and a helicopter.

While on the run, Demard forced his way into an apartment and changed clothes in an attempt to blend in with the crowd drinking beer outside the duplex but deputies recognized and arrested him. Estelhomme was found hiding in a shed nearby and also was taken into custody, according to the arrest report.

Deputies recovered the stolen handgun on the roof of a neighboring building and the rifle from a nearby alley, officials said.

Demard was charged with home invasion robbery and burglary of an occupied residence. Estelhomme was treated for dog bites to his right leg and was charged with home invasion robbery, burglary of an unoccupied residence and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, jail records showed.

Detectives are urging anyone with information about the third suspect to contact Detective Theo Woulard at 954-321-4270 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-8477 or browardcrimestoppers.org.
